[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides an embodiment of an I-beam wheel flipping conveyor device, including a roller conveyor belt 1. The front end of the roller conveyor belt 1 is provided with a barcode scanning device for scanning information of the I-beam wheel 26. The barcode scanning device is prior art and is not shown in the figure. The barcode scanning device is used to determine whether the I-beam wheel 26 needs to be flipped to prevent the I-beam wheel 26 from being flipped incorrectly or missed. The device also includes a lifting mechanism 2, a flipping mechanism 3, and a protective mechanism 4.

[0025] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a support frame 5 and a lifting cylinder 6. The support frame 5 is arranged around the roller conveyor belt 1, and the lifting cylinder 6 is fixed to the top of the support frame 5 with the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 6 pointing downward.

[0026] The lifting mechanism 2 also includes a support plate 16, a connecting plate 17, and multiple guide rods 18. The support plate 16 is fixed to the top of the support frame 5. The multiple guide rods 18 are vertically slidably installed on the support plate 16. The upper ends of the multiple guide rods 18 are respectively vertically fixed to the connecting plate 17, and the lower ends of the multiple guide rods 18 are respectively vertically fixed to the top of the fixed frame 7. The fixed frame 7 is driven to rise by the lifting cylinder 6, so that the flipping mechanism 3 can smoothly flip the I-beam wheel 26.

[0027] The turnover mechanism 3 comprises a fixed frame 7, a turnover motor 8 and a squirrel cage 9. The top end of the fixed frame 7 is fixedly connected with the end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 6. The turnover motor 8 is installed on the upper half of the fixed frame 7. The squirrel cage 9 is a box structure with one side open. The two sides of the squirrel cage 9 are rotationally connected with the lower half of the fixed frame 7 through rotary shaft seats 10. The output shaft of the turnover motor 8 is connected with the rotary shaft seat 10 on one side of the squirrel cage 9 through a gear chain mechanism 11. The turnover motor 8 can drive the squirrel cage 9 to rotate 180° with the rotary shaft seat 10 as the center. An optical detection switch for limiting the turnover angle of the squirrel cage 9 is arranged on the fixed frame 7 close to the squirrel cage 9, so as to ensure that the squirrel cage 9 can be turned to the position. By turning over the squirrel cage 9, the turnover action of the I-shaped wheel 26 is completed. The I-shaped wheel 26 is protected by the squirrel cage 9 during the turnover process, so as to prevent the I-shaped wheel 26 from colliding and falling and reduce the safety hazard.

[0028] The upper and lower ends of the squirrel cage 9 are fixedly provided with a fence 13. A plurality of cross bars 14 are installed on the fence 13 at equal intervals. The cross bars 14 can pass through the gap between the rollers of the roller conveyor 1 and move to the lower side of the roller conveyor 1. That is, when the squirrel cage 9 is placed on the roller conveyor 1, the upper surface of the roller conveyor 1 is higher than the inner bottom of the squirrel cage 9, so that the roller conveyor 1 can send or remove the I-shaped wheel 26 into or out of the squirrel cage 9.

[0029] A plurality of protrusions 15 are vertically fixed on the fence 13. The cross bars 14 are fixed on the protrusions 15. The height of each protrusion 15 is greater than the diameter of a single roller on the roller conveyor 1. The distance between any two adjacent protrusions 15 is greater than the diameter of a single roller on the roller conveyor 1, so that the fence 13 and the cross bars 14 can smoothly enter the gap of the roller conveyor 1.

[0030] The protection mechanism 4 comprises a door fence 12. One side of the door fence 12 is rotationally installed at the opening of the squirrel cage 9. The door fence 12 is used to open or close the squirrel cage 9. The protection mechanism 4 further comprises a pull rod 19, a sliding rod 20 and a rotating rod 21. The sliding rod 20 is horizontally slidably installed in the squirrel cage 9. The rotating rod 21 is vertically installed at the end of the sliding rod 20. One end of the pull rod 19 is fixedly connected with the rotating rod 21. The other end of the pull rod 19 is hingedly connected with the middle part of the door fence 12. The pull rod 19 is used to drive the door fence 12 to rotate.

[0031] The outer side of the squirrel cage 9 is provided with a locking rod 22, the locking rod 22 is in vertical sliding connection with the squirrel cage 9, the middle part of the locking rod 22 is vertically fixed with a locking block 23, the middle part of the pull rod 19 is fixed with a limiting block 24, the outer side of the squirrel cage 9 is provided with an avoiding slot for avoiding the locking block 23, the locking block 23 can be clamped with the front end of the limiting block 24, the upper and lower ends of the locking rod 22 are fixed with pressing rods 25, when the squirrel cage 9 is lifted to make the cross rod 14 disengage from the roller conveying belt 1, the spool 26 in the squirrel cage 9 can extrude the pressing rod 25 below the spool 26 to move downward, when one of the pressing rods 25 moves outward of the squirrel cage 9, the other pressing rod 25 can synchronously move inward of the squirrel cage 9.

[0032] The working principle of the protection mechanism 4 is that before the spool 26 is loaded into the squirrel cage 9, the cross rod 14 at the bottom of the squirrel cage 9 is inserted into the roller gap of the roller conveying belt 1, the door bar 12 is in the open state, at this time, the roller conveying belt 1 sends the spool 26 into the squirrel cage 9 from the opening of the squirrel cage 9, the spool 26 enters the squirrel cage 9 and first contacts the sliding rod 20 and pushes the sliding rod 20 to move backward, the sliding rod 20 drives the pull rod 19 to move backward, the pull rod 19 drives the door bar 12 to rotate, when the spool 26 completely enters the squirrel cage 9, the sliding rod 20 is moved to the position to make the door bar 12 completely closed, then the lifting mechanism 2 drives the squirrel cage 9 to move upward as a whole, in the process of upward movement of the squirrel cage 9, the cross rod 14 at the bottom of the squirrel cage 9 is lifted from the roller gap of the roller conveying belt 1 and supports the bottom of the spool 26 through the cross rod 14, in the process of upward movement of the cross rod 14 to the bottom of the spool 26, the pressing rod 25 will be in contact with the spool 26 and move downward of the squirrel cage 9, the movement of the pressing rod 25 drives the locking rod 22 and the locking block 23 to move downward, so that the locking block 23 is in abutment with the limiting block 24, at this time, the pull rod 19 cannot move forward to complete the locking operation, so as to prevent the door bar 12 from being opened outward, then the turnover mechanism 3 is used to turn over the squirrel cage 9 as a whole, when the squirrel cage 9 is turned over to the position, the turned-over spool 26 is in contact with the other pressing rod 25 and drives the locking rod 22 to move reversely, so that the locking block is separated from the limiting block 24, at this time, the door bar 12 is in the unlocked state, then the squirrel cage 9 is placed on the roller conveying belt 1, the roller conveying belt 1 can move the spool 26 out of the squirrel cage 9, in the process of moving the spool 26 out of the squirrel cage 9, the door bar 12 can be pushed to be opened.

[0033] The door bar 12 is further fixed with an arc-shaped supporting plate 27, the side of the arc-shaped supporting plate 27 facing the spool 26 is provided with a rubber pad, the shape of the arc-shaped supporting plate 27 is more matched with the surface of the spool 26, which can effectively prevent the spool 26 from shaking and falling.
